INS ARIGHAAT INDIA'S 2ND NUCLEAR-POWERED SUBMARINE
Recently, India commissioned its second nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN), INS Arighat (S-3) built under the Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) project.
Arighaat is an upgraded variant of the Arihant-class submarine.It is the second nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine made by India under the Advanced Technology Vessel (ATV) project to build nuclear submarines at the Ship Building Centre in VisakhapatnamOWERED SUBMARINE
INS Arighat, despite matching INS Arihant in size and displacement, can carry more K-15 missiles.
Power: 83 MW pressurised light-water reactors, developed with Russian assistance.
Arighat has four large vertical launch system (VLS) tubes that carry the Sagarika SLBMs (K-15) - a hybrid propulsion, two‐stage, solid‐propellant missile with a range of more than 700 km.
Future developments: Third submarine INS Aridhaman, a 7,000 tonne vessel, capable of carrying K-4 missiles with a range of 3,500 km will be commissioned next year.
SSBN stands for "Ship, Submersible, Ballistic, Nuclear" and refers to a type of submarine that carries nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles.
SSBNs are crucial for deterrence because they are difficult to detect and can escape a surprise first strike by an enemy to launch retaliatory strikes.
